[000:00:00;00] me the. ready president vladimir putin excuses the west of learning his country into war, while european leaders visit ukraine to show their support. ah, you're watching out, is there a light from a headquarters and i'm getting navigator also ahead. the president of junior so blames corruption and drug traffickers for tuesdays failed to 1st

a volcanic eruption on toonami. now cove at 19 tongue goes in to look down after to a worker test on long distance runners, and can speak out about winning bains. but only to lose it all through abusive husbands. ah, hello, frances foreign minister says there are no indications. russia is ready to take action in ukraine. despite its military build up on the border. versus president vladimir putin has accused the west of trying to lure him into war with ukraine. in his 1st public comment in early 6 weeks, putin said he hopes the solution can be reached to de escalate the crisis. but he says the u. s. and his allies have ignored russia's concerns if a nato expansion eastwards, the west has accused the kremlin of plotting to invade ukraine with tens of thousands of soldiers mast on its border. hey, stacy, do still craner?

let's imagine that ukraine is a member of nato stuffed with wagner, with modern strike system that you have the same as in poland and romania who will stop it. and what if it starts operations in the crimea? the i'm not even talking about the don bass. this is sovereign russian territory shaheen, while the u. k. prime minister boris johnson is pledging more support for ukraine's army. johnson, whom at ukraine's president in kev says moscow was holding a gun to ukraine's hands in an effort to change the architecture of european security. adopted hamid reports from key f. i. it's not every day a prime minister feels relieved to step into a crisis that has the potential of developing into war. but that may well be the way baris johnson fields arriving here in cave, away from the party gates scandal hoping to deflect attention at home. here the prime minister is facing what he called a grim reality. but he's a welcome friend,

coming with you funding some 118000000 dollars to fight corruption. alongside on the countries, we are also preparing a package of sanctions and all the measures to be enacted. the moment the 1st russian po, cat crosses further into ukrainian church. d, u. k. has so far trade more than $22000.00 ukrainian soldiers and donated more than $2500000.00 in defense. 8th, these are days of frantic diplomacy. it feels like it has become the center of europe. does not one day that goes by without the high level visit money and weaponry out, also pouring in. but there's one crucial point that is still lacking. and that is a united front among nature. members of this image could only

worry ukraine hungry prime minister victor or been at the kremlin meeting russian president vladimir putin. the visit was about signing an energy deal, but the ukraine crisis took center stage there too, or been, has ruled out any nato deployment to his country when you were around the same time in give president zelinski was meeting with the polish prime minister. gas was also on the agenda here, finding ways for ukraine to rely less on russia when it comes to energy supplies. the ukranian president would have also urge his visitors to tune down the rhetoric . feeling that the already fragile economy could go in a tailspin his message to ukrainians. this is not the time to panic yet, and the country is well prepared. the government has issued a map with more than $5000.00 shelters around kiev. the main ones being the soviet bill subway stations. for now,

life goes on as usual. yet your wife is the woman. i feel people are worried in words, but not in action. if you're talking about people leaving the city or stalking up on food, or looking for bomb shelters, i don't think that's happening. i don't know any one who's thinking like that. them we received of your big what she like world leaders also doesn't know is how all this will end up. this is not only about the sovereignty of ukraine, or it's right to one day become part of nato. it's also about drawing new lines, east and west, competing over the new security architecture of europe. ukrainians hope they won't be left out in the cold weather. the hamid elder 0 give. let's bring in our correspondent charles stratford who's joining us from. don asked that in eastern ukraine and charles you are in the separatist controlled region. tell us what you've been seeing. well the rain,

the situation here is calm, but of course the one thing that is on everybody's minds are, you know, the potential for some sort of escalation. we know that russia has said that he has no plans on an invasion of ukraine, but it is this area of cools a seen some of the worst fighting in the last will. so 8 years, although there has been a ceasefire in place of repeated attempts at keeping the seas far in place. there is sporadic shelling by both sides of people. all there's a sense of people being really kind of downtrodden here as well. i mean, when we spoke to a number of people who described themselves as having pro russian politics pro russian sympathies, one man said that he wished that russia had taken fool will control of this area from the star because of the kind of economic hardships that this region is facing the other people very reluctant to speak as well. saying that they feel intimidated

. they're very nervous about rudy voicing their opinions as i say because sings have been so difficult fool that without any real political solution. insight in terms of the status of this region with the mint to a code says not moving anywhere, a both sides accusing each other both ukrainians and the separatists saying that they're not doing their part in implementing their sides of the agreement. there is also increasing phase of water being described here by the authorities in the self declared people's republic. what they describe is provocations and quite a wiring report this morning that has dropped on the official news agency. all the self declared dana republic saying that so schools, sorry, 85 schools in the area have been close to day. while special forces have checked those schools off to having with these reports of minds or explosive materials

being planted in around these schools have caused we in no way confirmed the validity of these kind of news reports. we know how tense the situation is, but yeah, that would provocation very much at the full front of people's minds now. and as i say, and as you've been saying, you know that the diplomatic efforts continue. great. and on that point, charles, i mean, how much space is there left for diplomacy? as you were saying a moment ago, hooton's says there's still a chance, but what realistically can be done to satisfy the demands from both sides? that's right. he says it's still a chance that things aren't going to be easy and my, the analysts, so using language like either the carrot or the stick approach. well, with respect to a carrot, saw my analyst to saying that some, you know, that could be room, for example, some sort of agreement between the us, nato and russia, with respect to the deployment of weapons in eastern europe,

in nato countries. in eastern europe. also really a pullback of those weapons. one thing that caused the us and they to have said, is that there is going to be no movement on their open door policy. and if a country like ukraine wants to eventually join nato, but it's, it's up to that country to ukraine and a night. so to a grey, russia, he's going to have no hold on that. and then a stick approach, if you like, will a cool cities, huge sanctions that have been threatened and potentially greater isolation of russia on the international stage. but once again for sure that despite they're still being you know, a little bit of space full of some sort of diplomatic solution. that space is getting, seemingly smaller by the day. i thank you so much. charl stratford reporting from dennis. now the south pacific nation of tomba is going back into lockdown after

detecting to cover 19 infections in the capitol. humanitarian aid has been arriving through the port after last month's underwater volcanic eruption on su. nami tonga had not reported any cases before the natural disaster. let's bring in marianne cooper. she's a reporter for broad. com broadcasting. she's joining us from tongue as capital. welcome to al jazeera, so tanya has avoided outbreaks in the past. how worrying is it that now there are confirmed cases. thank you and the country here is very reach terms of it. we have never had a real case here in the i'm in a cabin 19, which one and 2 years ago. and finally, it had made it here in the queue and not only through our owners, but also to the community. last night, the p. m, the prime minister, issued

a press conference with 30 minutes to let people know that there is an outbreak. and there's a confirmed cases, 2 front blinders have been detected and have had a positive id on case. yeah, it had common 90 of today with the other day, the new cases where it was an update day plus the 2 from last night the to the 3 you hate, this is a why and 2 to 2 grand a is today and we know you're right say authorities have now announced the locked, i mean how challenging is this going to be for ordinary people in tango who are still trying to cope with the aftermath of the vulcan, a volcanic eruption and soon ami last month. yes, less than a month ago. we experienced

a russian and now i have it today we were on la la at 6 pm for the next 48 hours. so we'll be getting another update on what the lockdown will be. and if we're going to continue with it, or we're going to be eating with, say, friday, 6 pm tire. so as we recover the design, then we have this law. and then this buyer is a model community. and it is devastated here in a lot of homes. i have no, not enough an issue support with this machine to the wrist. and also here it may give us a sense of what that locked down actually means in tongue. i mean, we know that boats have been suspended from traveling between islands. we also know that flights have been suspended. what more can you tell us about that lock down?

so this was basically the prime minister has just people and they ignored. not only that a public has responded positively with a 6 p. m, but also the authorities out there just like with, by putting homes and just stopping people. they are going about the people here holding the bridge can be contained as fast as possible. given that the response from the government is also from the being active. they have identify places in time and date of where the where most of the 2 of 2 fir cases. so the government in the house is last in the public. if they were ethically at that time on that day to police report a soon as possible to the ministry of health for testing and also for the isolation

ukraine. what were putin says he wants to resolve the crisis? frances foreign minister says there is no indication russia is ready to take action . whenever. so was president tomorrow's. his soccer and follow says he survived and attempted to after gunman attacked the government palace on tuesday. the president says the situation is now under control. tongue are, is returning to lockdown after detecting to new cases of covered 19 humanitarian aid has been flowing into the south pacific nation after last month's volcanic eruption. and soon on getting his house presidency survived and attempted to after a 5 hour assault on the presidential palace, mares is so co, and bolo, says his security forces stopped an attack against democracy, but many of them died. alexia bryan reports gunfire in guinea. the sounds capital, the president says armed men attacked the presidential palace while he was inside.

i was in the middle of the council of ministers with all the members, including the prime minister. and we were attacks with very heavy weaponry for 5 hours. but now everything is under control. when i was elected president, i promised to fight 2 things, corruption and drug trafficking. and this is also linked to that is also guinea for sales, become known as a transit point for cocaine, between latin america and europe. it's also no stranger to political upheaval. they've been 9 coups or attempted coups since it gained independence from portugal in 1974. jimmy bizarre has been a fragile state for quebec. it's because of my context property and a man that you which is useful to just digits through. she's and the my and them mid military to please tell me does what parties it's not immediately clear who's behind the failed qu, some witnesses described the gunman as members of the military,

others as civilians in barlow suggested, many members of the security forces had died. the west african regional block a co ass and the un secretary general's condemned. what happened? we are seeing a terrible multiplication of goes the and all a stronger built is for soldiers to go back to the barracks. the president had called his cabinet together ahead of an echo us meeting on thursday to discuss a string of successful military takeovers in the region over the past 18 months. some fear the violence, imbecile is part of a wave of copy, can't coups. one of the difference between the situation with him and book in a facile concent or even madam, the cool mighty is that he's a woman i. he's a former jim so he, he has a obviously kept a strong dies within the armed forces. ah,

some golden barlow's rise to power following the 2020 election, a qu after he claimed victory despite opposition, allegations of fraud. they've been reports of tension within his government. and in recent days, he'd re shuttled his cabinet. huh. mallos described the latest violence as an attack on democracy, and say, some of those involved have been arrested alexia brian al jazeera denmark has become the 1st in you country to lift nearly all corona virus restrictions. that's despite of surgeon infections in the past 2 weeks. it's relying on the high vaccination rates ward off the on the cross variance oxidation passes on mouse, sorry, no longer required to and to restaurants, shops or to use on public transports. we have to go to corona pads. we have one big light in front of the interim for people getting in if you need to heat in the past

. and now we just voter and they really come everybody. i think it's a, it's rather risky. not, it's not a bad people getting sick about. it's more people not being able to, to go to their workplaces. and i, i work myself in a place where there's a lot of the team. we have to take special care off. and i know already by now this lot of our employees who's sick with the restrictions being lifted and it's going to be even worse now. australia has become the 1st country in europe to make cover 1900 jobs, compulsory for adults. they face fines if they continue to refuse to be inoculated . austria has one of the lowest vaccination rates in europe, and 1000000 of the 9000000 people have said no to the jobs stuff. awesome report from the capital vienna. thanks,

nations are in full swing at austria as biggest explanation center in vienna. but around 20 percent of the population as so far refused to be jap. and now the government wants to force them abroad. majority in parliament has passed a new law. in austria, we make it clear evaluation, but if the health care system is in danger, the use for me, for all of those in the country, this counts for more than personal rights. tens of thousands of all students have demonstrated every weekend, again, scalded restrictions and compulsory vaccinations. mika, l blue know founded a party with a sole purpose of fighting the government's coven policies. he doesn't believe scientists when they say that vaccines are safe. the compulsory vaccination is not based on evidence and there's no way to justify it in legal terms. it's a serious violation of fundamental rights. and right now there is no justification for violating them. he predicts thousands of lawsuits will be filed against this

law and expects it will never be enforced. actually, i go into great like to increase its vaccination rate, handing out free donuts after our 1st job. and having these special wants to celebrate boosters. but the government is going much further by having tax nations compulsively, a move that some fear will be counter productive. it's risky because you risk losing the people in the middle. the people who might have concerns, you might have hesitations, but they're not anti vexes. so this is a known effect that when something when a compulsory policy comes in, especially when it's concerned something as important and invasive as vaccination, then people tend to think ok, if i'm being forced to do this, the must be something wrong with it. or i'm not going to do it just because i have 2 or 3 i had mandatory vaccinations before when children had to be inoculated

against smallpox until the 1900. 80. now the country will be the 1st in europe to do the same for cove with vaccination, seeing a substantial fine work with chantelle persuasion as failed, steadfast and al jazeera, vienna. right wing political roofs worldwide are increasingly involved in protests against vaccine mandates, with some threatening to attack government leaders. the latest rally was in australia's capital, when hey, reports from cambra. ah, this protest took place in australia's capital cambridge outside the national press club. the message was that journalists are somehow involved in a conspiracy to spread misinformation about coven 19 vaccines, and government mandates. this is not just about the vaccine. that's their defense. but the way that they're actually trying to silence off anti vaccination movement to nothing new,

but they were traditionally regarded as fringe organizations with concerns about the safety of vaccines. coven 19 has changed that and muddied the message. there are now a wide range of rally and cries that protests like wanting to win countries back from so called dictor, tauriel, governments. they're a conspiracy theories and messages of hate violence and even anarchy far right groups and their political allies are seeing an opportunity to spread their messages and are increasingly showing up to and in some cases, organizing rallies. ha, ha, ha ha. they want to vaccinate us by force. now they even want to vaccinate our children, who do not need such experimental vaccines. in canada, thousands led by truck drivers gathered in ottawa to protest vaccine mandates. some of the organizes a well known far right activists, including one who says the vaccine was created to de, populate the white race and another who spreads is lam, a phobia. prime minister justin trudeau,

who on monday announced he had tested positive the coven 19, says, protest is a being misled to the politicians. exploiting people's fears. i ask you to think long and hard about the consequences of your actions. most protests around the world have been peaceful, attended by people who have genuine concerns about vaccines. but the message is increasingly being lost in a misinformation campaign being waged by others who have ulterior motives. wayne, hey, al jazeera or gunman in the democratic republic of congo have killed at least $72.00 people in the eastern province of a tory fighters in the cooperative for the development of the congo known as cody cope are suspected of carrying out the attack. the arm group has kills hundreds of people in the region through 20174002 flee their homes. becoming a world class runner in western kenya is one of

a few ways young women can lift themselves out of poverty. but many of the country's top female athletes say after winning big, they lost everything to predatory husbands who steal their hard earned wealth. malcolm lab reports teaches me roost, bossy bori, who then tens of thousands of dollars from winning $3000.00 me to steeplechase events, will over the world over her 15 year running career. but she says she gave the money to her husband to invest in properties. she said he became violent, then left her and took everything for him. had it motives only it was after my and my switch. so it broke my heart because when i see the attrition armina at the moment. who sometimes like to say, we says she's not alone. she lives in the town of a 10 in kenya, where many of the worlds fastest,

long distance run has come from. she has many of the female athletes here, lose their winnings to abusive, ponders. few ever spoke out about it until world record breaking professional athlete. agnes to rope was stamped to death in her home 3 months ago. please charged her husband with murder. that prompted outcry against domestic abuse in kenya and beyond. john jay leno, who's one half marathons over the world. so she left an abusive husband after he took most of her winnings. she's been speaking out, says thousands of other abused female athletes have since contacted her. she set up a charity to help them like agnes still she, she could not tell anyone have problems. so most of them are suffering in silence. so. busy many objective is to try to, to get them and for them just to know their rights, what's what they are capable of doing. many of the runners begin when they're

teenagers and can be vulnerable in the country, the business of professional sport. most people here are wealthy, many live in shacks, small scale farming on the only ways that people can make a living. and a lot of the athletes say when they start out running, i can't even afford their own trainers and the winning the prizes from international running competitions is one of the only ways to make a decent living on the edge of a 10 is a growing suburb. of the homes of the few athletes here that make it, the winnings can be big. that for jo ann's has attract per day to remain to winning women. caroline and gerace went around $10000.00 running long distance races in china just before the global pandemic. he said her ex partner violently took all the money she ever won until she ran away. we met with 2 of our friends, we told similar stories,

hunger one like to come over. he sees all we're appealing for is an office to represent us. similar, we could go to report this. there are even prominent athletes among us who are not able to be and have know where to go. caroline and her friends hope to win more prizes so they can replace what they say. they lost to a piece of partners. they say many of those around them keep suffering in silence. malcolm web al jazeera, it's in kenya. ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, russia, president of the cues, the west of trying to lure him into a war with ukraine. let him reputed says he wants to resolve the crisis, but demands at the west address rushes concerns of nato expansion eastwards. the station to store green a. let's imagine that ukraine is a member of nato stuffed with, with modern strike system. the same as in poland and romania who will stop. and
